am!! ASK HER OUT!! SHE WANTS YOU TO!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:03 (nineteen years ago) link

the friend thing has forced the moment to its crisis!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:04 (nineteen years ago) link

s1ocki do you think so?

i will be in 1taly with her (and her friend and other folks) so perhaps i can get her to have an espresso w/me on the sly

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

No, it was NOIZE DUDE Ian. He was one of many people that I was trying to rescue from an impending natural disaster by getting them to go into the surprisingly large, luxurious cellar of a nearby house.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh just quit thinking about it and blatantly ask the girl out already.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

and then you doused them with gasoline and dropped a match à la the dirty dozen

(you googleproofed 1taly?)

but yes, i do think so. i think you have so much more to gain by going for it (and that comment you said she made seems to seal it for me)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 4 October 2004 19:08 (nineteen years ago) link

You should eat some spaghetti with her, Lady-and-the-Tramp-style, if you know what I'm sayin'.

i'm just marking time really

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but this thread reads to me as the equivalent of kate's horny comiseration thread. Which isn't exactly bad, either, but y'know.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

In what way?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:18 (nineteen years ago) link

they kinda read the same. Two lonely people, looking for something, etc.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

You'll be abroad with her? It sounds like it's in the bag. I'm sure she likes you. You're cute! Now you just need to focus on what to wear during your trip and how to do your hair. ha ha

By the way, thanks for the present. I need to give it a really good listen and get educated in soul music.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Sarah, he is not a girl. He shouldn't be thinking about clothes and hair, he should be thinking about dorky mix cds to make for her or bumbling yet charming pick-up lines. That is what dudes do.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but this thread reads to me as the equivalent of kate's horny comiseration thread.

Everybody wants somethin'.

I started the horny thread, BTW. It did quickly get taken over by Kate, tho.

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

oh sheesh, my bad. Still.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:57 (nineteen years ago) link

She carried it further toward its logical conclusion than I would have. I think it belongs to her now.

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

narcissim, small differences, etc.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 4 October 2004 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

all the way around, yes.

― Gold Teeth II (kenan), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:07 (nineteen years ago) link

i drop silly hints to her friends

this is so OTM it's painful, but kind of a relief to discover I'm not the only one.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 4 October 2004 21:11 (nineteen years ago) link

FWIW, I don't really get crushes any more. Ephemeral erotic fantasies, yes. Crushes, no.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 4 October 2004 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

(this is something of a bittersweet blessing)

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 4 October 2004 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

sarah you are most welcome

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 00:37 (nineteen years ago) link

back on topic: i'm WAY more neurotic now. i just internalize it more.

― pfeffernuesse (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 01:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know what it's like to be single really. I've always been in a long-term relationship. But realisticly, I doubt I would be out partying with my six closest female friends, getting wasted on fruity drinks and hooking up. If I wanted to meet guys I'd probably, uh, start a band?

I'm a lot less melodramatic than I used to be. After one breakup in high school, I vowed never to be in a relationship again. I think that lasted about a month. But anyway, there was that bit of time when I wrote horrible poems about never being able to find my soulmate my whole life, then dieing alone. You know, the usual.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 12:55 (nineteen years ago) link

you should set them to music and make a concept album!

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

It would work a lot better if I were goth.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:10 (nineteen years ago) link

you can go goth for one album only, sort of like garth brooks

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, because that was a big success.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:11 (nineteen years ago) link

you too can be in cut-out bins throughout the far northwest side!

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

this thread has strayed far from ascots and neck-licking

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:14 (nineteen years ago) link

You don't associate those with garth (I mean, Chris??)?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Garth goth.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

At risk of digging back up something which probably should stay burried, but still, I wasn't here to comment at the time.

Yeah, seriously, hstencil on the money. Two lonely people dealing with it in different ways.

I mean, what *should* I be doing? Lying around being all twee and whinging about how I'm too romantically incompetant to get a date or get over my broken heart? Does that really make me, or anyone else around me any happier? What actually gives me that kind of a serotonin kick that makes me get out of bed and take the razor from my fucking vein? Lying around living out Smiths lyrics and being neurotic, or looking at NME scenester pr0n? Guess which one works better for me.

I've wasted too much of my life being depressed and I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself. You know what? Yeah, my teens *were* a long time ago, and I don't have to be that person any more. Are you gonna wallow in your own self pity or are you going to transcend it? OK, so I have a bit of a strange way of transcending, (the path of excess leads to Willesdon) but you know, whatever works for you.

― the path of excess leads to Willesdon, Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:39 (nineteen years ago) link

anyway

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:50 (nineteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

i've reached that stage where after devoting too much thought to the matter and having finally achieved step one (getting a "date" more or less/being somewhat confident that she likes me), i start wondering why i devoted so much thought to it when i don't really know the person all that well. it's like your eyesight clears up and you realize it wasn't your eyesight, the person actually is kind of a blur to you. i guess that's what the date is for.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 24 October 2004 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

this repeats a familiar pattern for me: crushing on someone, getting them to notice you, then idly (disastrously?) wondering if their friend with whom you share a laugh more easily and spontaneously isn't the person you should be attracted to.

life is weird.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 24 October 2004 17:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know but I don't think so.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think so either.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:29 (nineteen years ago) link

i haven't had a crush in twelve years, and i'm a eunuch.

life is wonderful here.

― John (jdahlem), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:34 (nineteen years ago) link

aim?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:35 (nineteen years ago) link

When I was a teenager, girls threw themselves at me, so I learned nothing. No really. Now women barely look twice at me, except desparate ones, so I still know nothing. And it's frustrating, because there's a certain dating aptitude I suspect you're supposed to have I don't. It's either straight to bed (too infrequently unfortunately) or more typically complete ineptitude with the sophisticated women I'd like to hang around with.

― joey lawrence, Monday, 25 October 2004 02:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I haven't had a date since the year 2000.

― battlin' green eyeshades (Homosexual II), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:36 (nineteen years ago) link

nope. i've always been completely shitful at matters of the heart. it's not something i expect to improve at to be perfectly honest.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 25 October 2004 02:38 (nineteen years ago) link

:-)

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 23:44 (nineteen years ago) link
